Beautiful garden transformation in Ladysmith, BC

Construction Highlights:

• Remove existing hillside landscape.
• 600+ 10ft pressure treated 4×6 lumber used to retain this bank with geogrid and tie-backs.
• Cedar top plate on all walls and stairs to make the look of pressure treated wood terrace view more appealing.
• 900 square feet of patio on the upper level for entertaining as well as other buildings on the property. 
• Irrigation system and lighting installed throughout the terrace areas.
• All levels carefully planted to give interest as walking through the terrace levels
• Lack of space, due to septic field meant that all materials had to be carried in or moved by hand, without the use of machinery.
• The entirety of the ocean side work, took upwards of 2500 man hours to complete in 2 stages.  

Challenges:

• Extensive Drainage systems were installed, including drains, basins and pits to remove water from the landscape and property.
• Staging was essential to its success, dealing with material movement issues as limited storage areas on the property.
• Material moving by hand as the yard didn’t allow for any use of machinery.

A full backyard transformation near Maple Bay built around a pool, hot tub, and raised beds. The project included over 250 linear feet of granite rock walls to manage grade changes, nearly 2,000 sq ft of brick pavers for the driveway, landings, and pathways, plus a full irrigation system and low-voltage paver lighting for a finished night-time look.

A luxury waterfront property in Cobble Hill built into a rock face, with natural stone walls hand-shaped for the squarest stone available, flagstone patios on both sides of the home, a full irrigation system, and an elaborate drainage network directing water past the rock outcrop — plus a raised walkway to the private dock.

A modern low-maintenance backyard upgrade in Cowichan Valley that replaced an overgrown, dated yard with clean geometric hardscaping. The scope covered excavation, a natural stone retaining wall, an architectural concrete planter, synthetic turf, custom concrete walkways, and  lighting — with a detailed drainage plan to handle grading around a neighbor’s mature tree roots.

A Tuscan-style property redesigned alongside the builder for a timeless, low-maintenance look. Rock walls raise the side and back gardens, a front courtyard features a fountain under a wood arbor for climbing plants, and the beds are finished with Tuscan decorative rock and boulders
